boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

AN Here they are both types of motors fitted in the hull an you can see the diffence in size an plus the new top motor has cooling fans fitted in them thats why they are longer

[boatman]

here all the the new motors are fitted in an ive ran them up to about half throttle power an now there are no problems with comin apart so i think i can tick that off the to do list an ive been useing the old 40 meg R/C to test them as i cant run them useing the new E.S.C.'s till they are all wired up an thats gonna take a bit of thought

[boatman]

Now talking about the new E.S.C.'s (electronic speed controll ) units an acceroies this in the pic is what ive got to fit in to power the motors

[Mark1]

Looks like fun, I can manage a plug !!

[boatman]

an in this pic is the wirein diagram an now for a few days will have to get my head around it as this is that BECC system that caused me so much trouble before in the build an as ive never wired up this system before so well i think im gonna take it slow a little at a time an it will gradully come togeather so it all works phew

At least you got a plan! A challenge is what the satisfaction comes from when you get it right:thumb2:

YEA Mark but fitting two lots in to work four motors an getting it right is the problem as even with inline fuses fitted if i get something wrong it can do damage an in this wireing layout i want to make it so there will be a knock on switch for on off so from THE R/C hand set i can make it so that just two motors work or all four so when running on just two motors i hopefully will get twice the running time but will see on that

WELL Mark OK i'll keep it simple there will be FOUR motors an TWO speed controlers an each one will work two motors there will be KNOCK on switch fitted on the back set of motors so when tiger is sailing i can just togle a switch on my R/C hand set an the knock on switch will cut power to the back set of motors so that then only the motors near the stern will work so it only be drawin half power but if the wind gets up an the water get choppy then i just send a signal from my R/C HAND SET to reactivate the knock on switch to on an it will then have all four motors goin CLEAR on that ? BUT THATS IF I CAN DO IT but will find out in the next few days when this is all wired up
